How to get the size of typed memoryviews in cython
cython, memoryview, python, python-3.x
Solution
From http://docs.python.org/3.3/library/stdtypes.html#memoryview
len(view) is equal to the length of tolist. If view.ndim = 0, the length is 1. If view.ndim = 1, the length is equal to the number of elements in the view. For higher dimensions, the length is equal to the length of the nested list representation of the view. The itemsize attribute will give you the number of bytes in a single element.
Problem
Is it possible to get the size of a MemoryView in cython? Ideally, I'm looking for something like `arr.shape` in numpy.
